Send anywhere is a must-have application that can help you share files with your family and friends within the most safe way likely on apple's ios as well as Android devices

With this app, you don’t have to upload a file on a cloud service making it susceptible to hacking by some nerd with brute force of codes. It is a peer to peer sharing system that helps you share files directly to a specific user without worrying about a server based middleman.

Interestingly, skipping a server is not the only utility of this app as it also does not needs you to register for the service. It means you can make use of the service without giving in your Facebook account details or even your email id.

To initiate a file transfer, select a file and hit the Send key. You’ll then be provided a six-digit code and QR code to send to your receiver. When you initially get the unique codes to share, you’ll see a 10-minute timer counting down; at the end of 10 minutes, the codes expire.

On the receiving end, you’ll need the Send Anywhere mobile application to go into the temporary six-digit code or to scan the QR code on iOS or Android devices or the Web app or Chrome app on a PC or Mac.

Send Anywhere’s Web app does not look to support an upload feature, but the apple's ios app has an upload option. Unlike with Dropbox or Google Drive, Send Anywhere keeps uploaded files only temporarily.
